I've been hanging around this board practically everyday for almost a year now, without really introducing myself... so HELLO! Long story short, my father was brought up on a breakers yard called Rush Green near Hitchin, Herts (my town of birth) and I love all things retro, including this website.
Anyway I own a one year model only, South African 1.8 moredoor Golf with a manual choke Pierburg carb
, limited-slip diff (standard), GTI 2-Y gearbox (standard) and air-conditioning (not working). Apparently of the 1500 built, 750 Golfs and 750 Jettas, not all of them had LSD.
This...
is the only documented evidence i've ever seen of their existence.
This is "Rolf" with a 40mm drop, headlight 'brow and smoked crosshair headlamps. Wheels shown are standard 14x6 NFDiecast.
I painted the driving lamp lenses with this...
Next step, Hella 16v rear clusters and Hella side-repeaters. Decided the original wheels needed a refurb, so I bought some 15x7 BSA Racing 5-spokes from my housemate and wrapped them in 195 50's for good measure. Oh, and a few too many stickers...
This is howhe it looks now...
...with smoked front indicator lenses and 16v chin spoiler.
Next step - a Weber carb! Any tips on which one would be greatly appreciated, thanks for reading.
